Shaun was on fire on both Saturday and Sunday as he quickly got his runs dialed in this his first skate event of the year. The contest was a unique one, set in the Orange County Fair, the crowd was hot and sweaty and greasier than a jumbo, footlong on a stick! But who doesn't love a footlong on a stick!
Blazing hot sun made for some interesting eye candy all around as everyone was burned to a crisp by the end of the day, but for every bad sun burn there was an even better tan!
As Shaun went into qualifying on Saturday and finals on Sunday, everyone could see the determination in his eyes. New tricks on the horizon combined with unique ramp with hipped out extensions allowed for some truly unique runs.
One of the crowd pleasers of the finals was Shaun's back to back fives in from the ramp to the drop-in and then from the hip to the extension, the second one with a varial flip in it as well! Whoa, that is tough just writing, imaging doing it!
As the finals ticked away, the jam format, got well, jammed. People were dropping and snaking and trying to drop. It was mayhem and not in a good way. But everyone made it out unscathed and when the dust settled, Shaun was out in 2nd place and a damn good start to the skate season!
